Why I Didn’t Buy an Antenna Tower

Why I Didn’t Buy an Antenna Tower


Why didn’t I just buy a lattice tower? It’s a question I get all the time. In this video, I explain exactly why I built my own 60ft tilt-over mast using scaffold poles instead of going down the traditional tower route.

Having used lattice towers before, I know how good they can be. But there’s a side to them people don’t always talk about – transport, foundations, maintenance, cost, and what happens when things go wrong. This build solves a lot of those problems in a surprisingly simple way.

This mast is fully single-handed. I can raise and lower it in minutes, it’s built from readily available materials, and if something breaks, I fix it the same day. No waiting for parts, no specialist sections, no heavy machinery required beyond the initial setup.

I also walk through the basic geometry behind the system – a falling derrick design. Once you understand that, the whole thing becomes much less mysterious than it looks at first glance.

Cost-wise, the entire system comes in at under £1,000 (excluding the rotator), spread over time. Everything can be transported and handled by one person, and the installation is completely reversible – important when you’re working in a field that may one day return to its original use.

The final sequence shows the mast being raised – something I never get tired of watching. There’s something quite special about seeing it go up smoothly and quietly at the press of a button.

If you’ve ever considered putting up a tower, or thought it was out of reach, this might give you another option.

Yes—You Can Build a Radio | Peter Parker VK3YE

In this interview, I sit down with Peter Parker to talk about making radio simple, practical, and accessible for anyone.

Peter is well known in the amateur radio community for his clear, no-nonsense approach to building and operating simple radios. We discuss how beginners can get started, why you don’t need expensive equipment, and the value of hands-on experimentation.

Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ). Every aspect of portable operations is covered in this biweekly podcast, from news and gear to achievements, the workbench, contests, awards, and beyond.
